• Visual Studio Express Editions Remote file directory.

  I am building a little utility I can use to connect to my home computer and download files. We have a bunch of firewalls at work and I can only connect through certain ports. I just want to be able to start up my client at work and connect to my home computer. It would be like windows explorer but showing my home computer instead of work. Is this possible Your biggest problem will be finding your home PC on the Internet. You'd normally use a static IP address but they are very hard to come by these days.

• Visual Studio Changing the size of the notes associated with check in / check out

  I have just started using VSS2005 having used CVS a little in a previous life. I was a little frustrated at the apparent low limit on the number of characters I could put in to the comment associated with my first check out / check in. Is there any way to change this limit or am I doing something wrong Thanks Richard Berg MSFT wrote: I believe the hard limit is 63 characters. That's a shame. Still, not the end of the world.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Absolute Beginners Video Series - Lesson 09VB

  Hi, I'm fairly new to this stuff but trying to learn and have been watching the video series for beginners. I have watched lesson 9vb a couple of times and downloaded the visual basic project. I have loaded the lesson 9vb project into Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. The video shows that you should be able to edit a field and then click the button to save the changes, stop the degugging to empty it from memory, then start again and the changes you made should be there. When I do this the program seems to function correctly (ie no error messages) but the database does not update as advertised in the video. Any ideas Cam Exact Solution REF: Absolute Beginner’s Video Series at http ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Field type 'DateTime'

  There does not appear to be a field type 'Date', similar to 'DateTime'. Is there a way to create a new field type containing just the Date Thanks, Maggie No, it does not. We might add support for it in a future version, but as of now, DateTime is the only date-like field we support. However, we try and make it easy for the user to query using just the date from the UI. eg. If you created a workitem on "01/02/2007 12:35:112", searching for workitems created on "01/02/2007" using the UI will pick up the workitem since when you specify just a date in the value of a field, it gets converted to a range search of times from the beginning to the end of the day. Hope that helps. ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie BIDS questions

  I've been learning SSIS and the BIDS for a few weeks now and there are 2 things that really annoy me. I'm hoping that there is a setting or option or something that I'm missing. 1. I place objects on the Control Flow surface, get everything arranged the way I want it, constraint lines all nice and tidy and then save it. When I open it things aren't the way they were when I closed it. Any way to make them stay the same 2. If I select multiple objects and copy them when I paste them they are in really interesting places. Any way to have them stay in the same realitive positions This is one of the most helpful forums I've ever posted in so thanks to you all for the assistance. John Colaizzi ...Show All

• .NET Development Synchronization issue in System.Array

  Hi, Currently I am working with System.Array class and I am having problem with Array synchronization using SyncRoot property. Basically I want to make sure that if my array is locked, no other threads are allowed to changed my array. In my code, the locked array is intArray and the thread I used to change the value of intArray is changeArray Delegate. It seems to me that the intArray is not actually locked because the thread could change the array value even though it is in the locked block. Below is my code //Start of code private delegate void changeArray ( int [] a); static void Change( int [] a) { a[1] = 100; } static void Main( string [] args) { int [] intArray = { 1, 6, 8, 3 }; ...Show All

• Windows Forms ntdll.dll Issue

  Problem: IE crashes while surfing certain web sites, citing ntdll.dll as the problem child. Research indicates that it's due to stack overflow on ActiveX controls that some web sites use. Articles indicate the issue was fixed in previous patches but has rebroken in more recent upgrades. Article 836506 says there is a fix available, but you have to contact Microsoft at $99.00 per instance in order to find out what that fix actually is. Anyone have any solutions a guy could try Setup: Windows 2000, SP4 Troubleshooting steps to date: SP4 patch rollup & reapply SP4. Current version of ntdll.dll is more recent than the version indicated in the article referenced above. My research indicates turning ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Re-importing schema?

  This isn't a critial issue, because once you're using this product, you probably don't need this functionality. However, I'm evaluating this product, so nothing is under source countrol, and changes are still going directly into the 'source' database. What I'd like to figure out is if there is any way to re-import the schema from the original source database, to update the project with any external changes Right now the only method I have is to close the project completely, go to Windows Explorer to delete the entire project and all its files from the disk, and then open a new project specifying the same source database ... which re-imports all the schema. It won't suprise me if this is the only way this can be done, but is there ...Show All
